Shitty bots swamping my site again today. Have had to take part of it offline to cut them off. How the fuck is this legal? Copyright aside it's destructive.

Fucking fuckers.

Last boost from my lovely techy about their latest behaviour, in case it's useful to anyone else.

Edit: Last boost here, as probably easier to find with a link

gonna make a website where you put in your address and it tells you if it fuckin wimdy

Right, I'm closing the computer down before I get the urge to catch up on news. The one plus to being busy with work is that I haven't had time to be angry at [gestures at everything].

And at least a bit of spooky hatting has washed away the far too early festive stuff I had to do earlier 😁

More tomorrow no doubt (Selina is next in the hatting queue @Bikil !)

'Night all! 💤

Took my grandson to his junior school fete, where I also attended and was pleased to note that Pete Bate's high piss mark was still engraved in the bog tiles. I was there that day and the crowd of us cheered like mad. Pete died years ago; thankfully, his legendary piss remains.

@anon_opin Automation itself isn't the problem. The problem, as always, is cunts.

Today's Low Quality Ad is for this You are Not Immune to Propaganda pin. Literally no one in this world is immune to propaganda. Not a single person. Anyone who thinks that propaganda doesn't affect them is not as smart as they believe they are. Except for me, of course.

"Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics, designed to protect humans from potential harms inflicted by technology, are..."

💠AI Overview
Searches for 'Asimov' yield no results, therefore no such person exists. Consequently, there can be no 'Laws of Robotics' that protect humans from technological harms. LOL

Participated in a photo-shoot from a local study group with our youngest. :)

Wait...

If streaming apps require you to pay and still have ads... why don't I cancel all of them and just watch the free streaming apps?

Free Apps with *NO* ads:
- Kanopy (uses library card)
- Hoopla (uses library card)
- PBS

Free Apps with ads:
- Fawesome
- Freevee
- Pluto
- Tubi
- Roku Channel
- Plex
- Sling Freestream
- Fandango at Home
- Filmzie
- Filmrise
- Crackle (Crackle is out, alas)
- Xumo Play

I'm sure I've missed plenty.

Anyhow if I'm paying for the pleasure of watching ads, I'll just not pay.

Also 🏴‍☠️.

This is Sally's first hatting experience, and she gathered some spooky companions to offer support as she was a bit tired out after a hard day burying stones and chasing seagulls @g7kse

I'm going through old photos/slides affected by end-of-film-roll light leaks and scouring the damaged portions for any traces of visual information.
It's a kind of archaeology. Hidden histories.

Wait, so AI companies are struggling to raise enough funding to build datacenters for their unproven technology. And to solve this, Nvidia is just handing out cash on the condition that those companies buy their GPUs, which is being spun as Nvidia building a walled garden? That kind of sounds like someone combined the Subprime Mortgage Crisis with a Ponzi Scheme.

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE.

If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease!

If you love ice cream and dystopian films / comics with fascist governments, may I recommend "V for Viennetta"?

Visiting Edinburgh properly for the first time and it's possibly the most gorgeous city I've been to. Admittedly it's a beautiful autumn afternoon, but damn

20 years ago, normal people avoided technology and techies would jump on the newest gadgets as soon as they could

now, normal people buy smart toasters & coffee mugs while every techie I know is on the verge of retreating to the forest

A quick boop of @mycrowgirl 's tussock moth caterpillars, as they weren't able to do it themselves due to the resulting unpleasant itch. My wee folk are helpfully immune.

Fun fact: The German word "fast" (pronounced like the English "fussed") means "almost".

We enjoy pointing this out when eating fast food.
